Fig. 1. The Experimental Intensive Care Unit (Département Hospitalo-Universitaire de Recherche Expérimentale, University of Lille). Two anesthetized piglets were mechanically ventilated in prone position for periods ranging between 2 and 4 days. Two physicians were permanently present throughout experiments on a 24-h period shift, and two technicians were present from 9 AM to 5 PM each day. Equipment included: mechanical ventilators, continuous cardiorespiratory monitoring, strip-chart recorder, electrical infusors for continuous administration of intravenous treatments, material for endotracheal suctioning and thoracic drainage, material for bronchoscopy, material for antibiotic nebulization (ultrasonic and vibrating plate nebulizers), and surgical material for postmortem pulmonary biopsies biopsies. Dr. Ivan Goldstein, an investigator of the Nebulized Antibiotics Study Group, is present.
